Pain in the neck? A human resource specialist told me that 95 percent of his work is dealing with the 5 percent of employees who are a pain in the neck.

iTouch and iPhone have some competition now: myTouch.
My goodness– um, not a new phone. I have an iPhone and love, love, love it. I touch the screen and voila, it does what I want! Forget actually calling someone. It offers email, the Internet, text messaging, photographs, fun and informative applications, and more. It [...]

POP is such a powerful word. You want things to visually POP out, like a bright tie in contrast to a dark shirt. For my webpage design, I used Opti-POP to make such I wouldn’t be ignored like Glen Close in Fatal Attraction. As a kid, I loved my [...]

“Those who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.” As if!
Quite a few people seem to believe their houses are made of Pyrex, so they get out their slings like David going after Goliath. That’s why politicians shouldn’t have negative campaign ads-it ends up like two nasty high school girls fighting to [...]

“Step on a crack, Break your mother’s back.” You know, just because something rhymes doesn’t mean it makes sense. I’ll tell you what will break your mother’s back: moving back into her house– when you’re 40 years old! Okay, more likely osteoporosis will break your mother’s (or father’s) back, but what is the deal [...]
Forty million Americans suffer from migraine headaches, mostly women. Migraine affliction peaks by age 40. What is migraine disorder? You need at least five headaches lasting 4-72 hours associated with nausea/vomiting or photophobia (lights hurt your eyes– kind of like staring at the sun) or phonophobia (sounds hurt your ears– kind of like listening [...]

Arthritis affects mega millions of Americans. Osteoarthritis is the most common. In these 2 videos, you see there are other causes like rheumatoid, psoriatic, and scleroderma. I had the amazing honor of meeting Cathy Eichelberger. So please watch, learn, and participate!
Talk the talk means you have to walk the walk. The 2009 Arthritis Walk is the Arthritis Foundation’s national event to take the pain out of arthritis.
Frankly, arthritis sucks. To be more refined, I’m sure the Queen of England would say that arthritis is a very unpleasant malady. (Hey, don’t you just love, [...]

Kiefer Sutherland’s TV hit, 24, is truly whacked– as in whack everyone in the head. I’ve never seen so many people knocked out in any show. It’s so medically unrealistic: they’re all clearly suffering concussions, yet they function at a high level when they regain consciousness. But then again, Jack Bauer has died twice [...]

Sex causes a major headache for many people. John Edwards finally admitted to have sex with another woman, while his wife battles breast cancer. Hopefully, the main reason he has a headache now is that his wife conked him on the head.
Danny Bonaduce (aka Danny Partridge) married a woman on their blind date [...]

Do doctors make the worst patients? I’m sitting in my hotel room in Utah with ice on my elevated right knee. Torn ACL, chipped bone on my tibia, and possible torn lateral collateral ligament. Yippee, everybody dance now!
After skiing for four fabulous days, I fell at Snowbird while doing nothing and twisted my knee. [...]
Americans probably swallow more NSAIDs (nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs) than vegetables. There are over 50 types of NSAIDs out there, including aspirin, ibuprofen, Celebrex, naproxen, and acetominophen. Personally, I love veggies because they’re so healthy, fresh, and tasty– and I’m talking about un-fried veggies (I know, not very Southern of me). Fresh vegetables are good [...]

Jewish dance master Steve Weintraub gave a workshop on Yiddish dance to Klezmer music. When I entered the Beth Israel Synagogue for the very first time, I had no idea what Klezmer music was, but I did have some idea of Yiddish dance-well, only because I was Motel the tailor in Fiddler on the [...]

Hayden Panettiere, the auto-regenerating cheerleader from Heroes, is Ms. Paparazzi Queen! You know you’re hot stuff when you’re filmed and photographed while getting a mani-pedi. On one episode, while painting her toenails, Hayden cut off her pinky toe to see if it would regenerate— which it did, just like a starfish!
Now, I’ve [...]

“I’m on hold,” is something all of us have said. With companies facing increasing demands but less profit, we’re being put on hold everywhere. Even on the computer-help chat rooms, I’m put “on hold” sometimes for 30 minutes– which isn’t so bad because while waiting I can play Solitaire and read the latest entertainment pages. [...]

Tension can be a good thing. A tightrope walker needs a good tense rope. Tension in the theater can make the difference between a B movie and an A movie. The View became more popular with all the tension that occurred with Rosie O’Donnell. Personally, I’m wound so tightly that if I relax, I’ll [...]

Lily Tomlin was electrifying at the Paramount Theater! I’ve never really known her one-woman shows or really appreciated the Laugh-In clips I’ve seen. I’m sure some of you are groaning, “Sigh, it was before his time!” I can relate. I groan at people born after 1980 who don’t know or appreciate Rogers and Hammerstein or [...]

K is such a powerful letter! A “Mart” isn’t good enough. Kmart is so much better. In fact, in my little home town of Kenton, Ohio, the only major shopping center is the Kmart– and a few years ago when rumors of bankruptcy abounded, all the Kentonites didn’t feel oK. They thought the world was [...]

Sanjaya Malakar on American Idol makes little girls cry… and the judges (especially when Paula is spaced out)… and America. He kind of reminds me of an Asian Indian version of Michael Jackson. All the girls scream and cry because “He’s so sensitive and sweet!”
I like Sanjaya. Okay, he isn’t the greatest thing since [...]
Heidi Klum, former supermodel and host of Project Runway, says, “In fashion, one day you’re in, the next you’re out.” She’s right— look at designer Isaac Mizrahi. One day he was in Nieman Marcus; now he’s in Target.
In his documentary, Unzipped, Mizrahi introduced us to the world of high fashion and dealing with supermodels like [...]

Penny pinching is no longer just a memory of the ’30s and the Great Depression. When gasoline and milk flirt with $3/gallon, Elsie the cow is going to be a billionaire but not able to afford to drive around in her Rolls Royce. She’s going to have to walk to moooooove along. Medical co-payments are [...]

I love The Sound of Music. I have even been on The Sound of Music tour in Salzburg, Austria– twice! But you know what? I love every song except… “The Lonely Goatherd.” Now the puppets are great to watch, but [...]
Pain is something that’s awful, prevalent, and hard to describe to someone else. Some people experience pain, others share the pain (and yet still others just cause pain).
I was shopping at the local ABC store. (Mary Poppins sang, “A spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down,” but did not include “A small [...]
Have you ever gone somewhere incognito? Jan Brady went to the pharmacy wearing a head scarf and Jackie O sunglasses because she wanted to buy a product to remove her freckles. Michael Jackson wore a mummy outfit to avoid the paparazzi– like that would work.

There are too many homonyms and acronyms that all sound the same but have different meanings. How in the world can we keep up with all the different meanings for the same-sounding words?
For example, PSA in medicine means “prostate specific antigen,” but at the news station it means “public service announcement.” There are many [...]
Cybill Shepherd and Bruce Willis were steamy until they actually “got steamy” on Moonlighting. Why is it when the boy catches the girl, the magic of the show is gone? Look at The Bachelor– proposal, diamond ring, and poof– end of show and the couple– or even worse, gulp, The Bachelorette II. In Moonlighting, Cybill’s [...]

What is the deal with all the TV reality shows? Weren’t The Brady Bunch and The Cosby Show good enough? Now, when I’m on the elliptical rider at the gym, I see people on Fear Factor eat everything but nuclear waste.
At home, I prefer “quality” reality TV (if I ever get a chance to [...]

I’m gullible. I tend to believe people are honest, but as a result I tend to fall for stupid things. For example, I once believed a person who said “gullible” isn’t in the dictionary. I saw a wall mount of a rabbit with six-point antlers and was told it was a “Jack-a-lope.” I wondered [...]
